Frangipani Woven Drop Earrings
Inspired by the aromatic tropical bloom known as frangipani, these earrings from Bilum and Bilas are crafted by artisans in Papua New Guinea using ancient weaving techniques passed down through generations of women. They're fabricated with a natural fiber, locally referred to as rapa, that's been sustainably hand-foraged and processed.
Bilum and Bilus—a reference to Papua New Guinean woven bags called bilum and jewelry known as bilas—celebrates the region's history, culture, and traditions while empowering contemporary craftswomen.
